All models (except the Rumble 15) feature adjustable overdrive. The 1×10″ Rumble 30 and 1×12″ Rumble 75 models offer tilt-back design for monitoring. The Rumble 75, 1×15″ Rumble 150, and 2×10″ Rumble 350 all include special EQ features, with the 350 also featuring XLR outputs, high-frequency piezo horns with on/off switches, and ported enclosures.

“Rumble is one of the best selling bass amp families in the world, said Jay Piccirillo, senior marketing manager Fender Bass Products. “This complete reinvention of the line is better looking, better sounding, more powerful, has more features and is lower priced.”
